In order to understand oral communication in the target language (28A), students should experience
sufficient learning opportunities to develop the following:
• Demonstrate comprehension of simple stories, dialogues, and other presentations containing significant
visual cues.
• Arrange sentences about events written in the target language in chronological order.
Prepare the assessment task sheet that is to include 10 sentences of dialogue from the video segment the
students are to watch. The sentences on the task sheet should not be in chronological order.
Have students review and discuss the assessment task and how the rubric will be used to evaluate their work.
Provide each student a copy of the task sheet. Ask students to number the sentences in the order that they hear
the quoted statements.
Have students view the video segment in the target language, approximately 8 – 10 minutes long.
(Optional) Have each student orally explain and justify the chronological order.
Evaluate each student’s performance using the Foreign Language Rubric as follows and add each student’s
scores to determine the performance level:
• Knowledge: the chronological order of the sentences was complete and correct: 4 = 10 correct; 3 = 7 – 9
correct; 2 = 5 – 6 correct; and 1 = 1 – 4 correct.
• Comprehension: Execution of the task showed understanding and facility.
